A method and system for open loop power control in a CDMA communication system. The method and system controls the power of a mobile station transmission signal in a CDMA communication system having a base station which transmits a pilot signal. The method includes calculating, in the base station, a base station pilot transmit power value, and a base station receiver sensitivity value. The base station transmits the pilot transmit power value and the receiver sensitivity value to said mobile station. In turn, the mobile station calculates a mean output power in response to the base station pilot transmit power value and the base station receiver sensitivity value.
